Full description

Urmston, Ben, 11/2008, Avon Support Main, between Roborough and Houndall, near Plymouth, Devon. (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV358939.

A geophysical survey was undertaken of a proposed 13km water main between Roborough and Houndall, near Plymouth, Devon. Several sites of archaeological interest were detected.

In this area (Compound 2), a group of anomalies may be of some archaeological interest, although they are masked by a modern service to the northeast. Elsewhere, isolated anomalies are difficult to interpret with certainty, given their limited contrast with the background. Linear trends oriented with the western and southern boundaries are typical of former ploughing.

Ordnance Survey, 2015, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV357601.
